Going Champion with Impale. Either double strike or cyclone - whichever one feels more fun after I get a saviour.

ronne · Mar 12, 2020

Champion is so fucking good you can kinda just pick any skill really.

I may even try reave.

Caeden · Mar 12, 2020

I wasn’t going to play but I’m going to try some new skills on assassin and maybe heiro. If those fail I’ll play storm brand up for the first time.

I’ve done a cyclone build as a primary for three leagues. Kinda over it. Maybe I’ll try something on champion but I doubt it.

I'd say it's worse if you just want to run one map over and over, but it's better in terms of how it integrates and makes more "sense" than having to remove maps out of your atlas and shit. You're looking at like 60-80% chance to get the map you favorited 3times depending on how many other maps at in the tier and you can still tweak to an extent by removing 1watchstone from certain region with minimal loss unlike before(can remove 3 and only lose 1 awakening level).

If you really have a 1map run plan though, like div card farming stuff, you can still choose not to complete the atlas competing maps. Can't go back if you fuck it up though but say you fuck it up and unlock one map, you'd have a 97% chance to drop it favorited anyway so not a big deal as long as you don't fuck up too many times.

I'm not looking to target farm. More just looking not to run shitty layouts or bosses with phases.

Hey guys, you want that thing that *NOBODY* has ever played Elementalist for? It's now on boots with additional downsides!

This has potential. Likely limited by 4 socket however. Willing to bet this is basically a prototype for a support gem.

Any recommendation for a HC build ?

You're best off sticking with what you know as a starter. Jugg, Mines, Totems, Glad, Occultist, Minions, Guardian (possibly, but shit starter). As we don't know the league mechanic it's probably best to play it safe.

You can still check the 3.9 hc ladder and take it from there, lots of the builds will still be viable if you put them into your pob.

That's the tree right now, but I have 25 points I could put somewhere cause of changes I suppose but that would sacrifice my full reset, also trying to link my account info if possible. I haven't played in quite a while and wanted to get my feet wet on my old Toon before season starts later tonight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I dont play HC but there are a few builds the HC twitch streamers seem to favor. From what i remember and from most to least talked about basically imo:

Trickster: ED + contagion
Glad or champ: cyclone/bladestorm impale
Necro: Hard to say what though because of changes
Chieftan: Cremation w/ sire of shards
Occultist: cold dot
Jugg: Herald of agony

MrHolland420 · Mar 13, 2020

What I was trying to do with that old build was basically, life leech and attack speed, but they changed to bleed? I am really kinda lost atm lol. My stash is full of Remove only tabs and etc.

Your build kinda makes no sense, seems like you just picked random things together, I'd assume that was your first build? It has molten strike AND vaal double strike, but also traps for some reason, and it's full uniques which is generally 100% a newb trap since uniques are often situational and most builds only end up using 2-4 of them total. I'm not entirely sure what you can do to fix it, the tree obviously has issues but you wouldn't really be able to kill anything with these items I think? Barely any life, might cap resists but not even sure, and like 0 damage.

Not too sure what you can do about it, there's just kinda nothing really worth keeping. I guess you can just assign your points in whatever and go swing at stuff, but I think you might find it somewhat hard to even do normal areas(not even maps).

I'd heavily recommend checking out a guide, even if you don't follow it 100%, just to see how builds are generally done.

Yes very first build, the molten strike does pretty well, but yes the lack of life is a killer, I have to constantly be hitting enemies to stay alive basically.

Spec everything out and do something like bladestorm/ lacerate, its very simple to play and quite tanky.

This guys builds are pretty good if you are starting out. Here's his glad. Just respec into it and you can use pretty much any gear.

This is the build I was planning on starting, 16k HP and block/spell block capped with no crazy items. DPS is meh but Soulrend clears really well and Allelopathy/Blight will still put out 500k DPS against bosses which is more than enough to kill anything.

Still trying to rework this into an EK/Blade Blast build for Archmage support but I think I'm going to wait on that until later when I can see how clunky or not that ends up being.

ooph. as pyros said, man that is all over the place. its hard to tell where to even start.

yeah, clear everything out for passives. While that we could fix, you need to also pick a primary attack skill. and replace most of your gear to match it. And replace 90% of your skills/supports as well. pick a skill. google "poe skill" and like 100% builds for it will show up.

Typically you want a primary attack skill for boss killing. sometimes that skill is good for map clearing as well, but occasionally not, and a clear speed secondary skill is used as well.
Then you want a movement skill, supported with faster attack/cast. and sometimes more additions. leapslam+faster attack+curse on hit+CURSE for example. or, Leap slam+faster attack+fortify.
Fortify and curse skill. as noted, one of these may be attached to movement. Curses can also be assigned to blasphemy, or certain gear with "curse on hit".
defense utility. guard skill. or cast when damage taken+
Golem. do not bother linking this with supports. (except maybe elemental army, minion life, or cwdt.)

get resists on gear 90% of the time. this is where unique overload is really bad for new players. using purity of elements to get resists is horrible. that mana reserve could be a herald, or aura.

heres an old MS guide I just found.

That looks pretty decent.

Molten strike savior prolly pretty nice.

Imo pick what type of play style you want, then we can find a good league start build for that.

Ranged vs melee, etc

ronne · Mar 13, 2020

My head tells me I should start toxic rain trickster, but my heart says bladestorm berserker.

I can't fucking decide.

Deathwing · Mar 13, 2020

Both will probably be good. Persistent dots are going to be good for the league mechanic.

I find bladestorm good for leveling but annoying at clearing maps. Toxic rain handles the latter better but it's not awesome itself either.
